Wherever the blue light passed, a ravine that was over five meters deep and five kilometers long appeared. The sand was melted in an instant, turning into pure energy and floating in the air above the ravine. Han Yan's wrist moved, and he suddenly raised the copper mirror in his hand, pointing at the empty space, the energy turned into a red line, and flew into the mirror with an astonishing speed. At the same time, the eyes of the Golden Crow on the mirror lit up one after the other. In the blink of an eye, the eyes of the nine Golden Crow lit up.
Carrying the Golden Crow Copper Mirror, Han Yan was full of confidence. Even if he met the elemental infant stage cultivator s, he would still have the strength to fight them. The energy contained in the blue light was shockingly strong. If elemental infant stage cultivator were to come into contact with it, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured. Han Yan held onto the Golden Crow Copper Mirror tightly, he raised his head and looked at the empty air, and thought to himself: "Nascent Soul Stage Monster, the next time we meet, will be your death date."
With a thought, Han Yan opened up the storage bag and a streak of grey light flew out and landed on his shoulder. After escaping from the Tianming Sect, Han Yan had placed the Nine-clawed dragon cat inside the storage bag, and during this period of time, it had been in a comatose state. Under that one strike from Dong Guang, the Nine-clawed dragon cat was heavily injured, and even at this moment, it still had not completely recovered.
As soon as the Nine-clawed dragon cat appeared, it whispered, "Meow, meow!" Its eyes were filled with excitement, obviously liking the desert in front of it.
Han Yan frowned. He had interacted with the Nine-clawed dragon cat for a long time, so he could understand its thoughts from its cries. Then, he asked: "You said the energy here is very suitable for your cultivation?"
The Nine-clawed dragon cat nodded its head heavily. Its eyes flashed with excitement.
Han Yan smiled and said: "The energy in this place is extremely strange. It might be beneficial to your cultivation, so it's not suitable for me to stay here."
The Nine-clawed dragon cat raised its furry little claws and dragged its chin, as if it was thinking about something. After that, its eyes lit up and it pointed at the ground in front of it and made some gestures. After making some gestures, it pointed between its eyebrows and then pointed at Han Yan's forehead and mewled non-stop. Han Yan listened for a long time before understanding what the Nine-clawed dragon cat meant, and said: "You said that I should leave first, that you should cultivate here, and that if there is any time when I can notify you through the connection between the soul and myself?"
The Nine-clawed dragon cat nodded and meowed twice.
Han Yan thought about it for a while and felt that this method was feasible. "Then I'll leave first."
The Nine-clawed dragon cat looked at Han Yan with a reluctant look, then jumped down from Han Yan's shoulder and landed on the sand. The scorching sand did not have any effect on its body. It let out a comfortable cry and started rolling on the ground. If one looked closely, they would notice that the energy within the sand was being quickly absorbed into its body. Afterwards, it would circulate once before transforming into the purest Spiritual Energy.
Han Yan frowned, he secretly thought, this energy could be absorbed by the Nine-clawed dragon cat, producing spirit energy, who knows, maybe cultivators could absorb it. Han Yan concentrated his mind and sat on the ground to cultivate. The moment the energy entered his body, he immediately felt his mouth going dry. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to enter his body. Han Yan was not willing to give up, he took out his Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal and bellowed once more, "Spirit Gathering." The Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal did not absorb the surrounding energy. No matter how Han Yan controlled it, it still did not listen to his commands.
Han Yan laughed bitterly as he put away the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal. Coincidentally, he saw the Nine-clawed dragon cat looking at him.
The Nine-clawed dragon cat grinned and laughed. It looked like it was looking at an idiot, as if it was saying: Idiot, the energy here is only suitable for Demonic Beast to cultivate, humans cannot cultivate.
Han Yan smiled faintly and waved at the Nine-clawed dragon cat. Then, he took out the green small sword and flew into the sky in a flash.
The Nine-clawed dragon cat looked in the direction Han Yan left with eyes full of reluctance. Then, it moved its body towards something and suddenly burrowed into the sand, entering the midst of cultivation.
At the end of the desert was a dried up piece of land. Not a single blade of grass grew on this piece of land. From the looks of it, it was unknown how many years it had been since anyone had seen rain. At the moment, two cultivators flew over from the distance. They looked to be in their twenties and wore red robes. Their cultivation was not high, only around Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage.
Zhou Fei looked at the desert ahead, and said depressingly: "This place is really hot, if it wasn't for the sake of refining a satisfied magical artifact, I wouldn't even have come to this damn place if I were beaten to death."
Li Yue laughed and said: "Senior Brother, we're almost there, don't complain."
Both of them were disciples of Artifact Forging Valley, and as for the cultivators in the valley, once they reached Fifth stage of Qi Refining Stage, they would have the qualifications to forge artifacts. At this time, he would come to the desert to retrieve the sand. After absorbing the energy in the sand, he would bring it back to the sect and use the Earth Flame to refine it into molten iron and then turn it into a magic tool. Therefore, if a disciple of the Artifact Forging Valley wanted to become a core disciple, he had to come here to collect sand.
The two of them were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the edge of the desert. They did not go deep, but instead landed on the edge of the desert. Then, the two of them slapped the storage bag on their waists and a palm-sized red gourd appeared in front of them. The two of them began to cast a spell on the gourd and the gourd quickly grew larger. Then, under the control of their divine senses, the gourd floated up to the top of their heads. When the gourd's lid opened, a powerful suction force came out from the gourd and landed on the desert before them, sucking in the red sand.
The red light on the gourd shone brightly. As the sand was absorbed more and more, the temperature of the gourd also increased.
Their foreheads were covered in beads of sweat as they clenched their teeth and persevered. The bottle gourd floating in the air was obviously his artifact forging treasure. After the bottle gourd absorbed the red sand, it forcefully absorbed the energy within the sand and turned it into yellow sand. After that, he would use the Core Fire to melt the yellow sand and refine it into the magic tool he wanted.
Just at this moment, a ray of light flashed in the sky and disappeared into the distance.
Their faces darkened as they turned their gazes towards the sky, revealing expressions of bewilderment.
Zhou Fei glanced at the sky and asked: "You saw it?"
Li Yue nodded and said: "I saw it." With that, he changed the topic of the conversation, "Senior Brother, are we too tired to speak normally?"
Zhou Fei nodded his head in agreement, and said: "It should be an illusion. The temperature of the Red Stone Desert has reached more than a thousand degrees, not to mention us, even the Expert of Elemental Infant Stage would not dare to stay there for long. How could someone pass through the Red Stone Desert?" As he spoke, he was even more certain that the flowing light he saw just now was an illusion created by exhaustion. It was impossible for a cultivator to fly out from the desert.
Li Yue obviously didn't know much about the Red Stone Desert. After hearing Zhou Fei's words, he hurriedly asked: "Since the Red Stone Desert is so powerful, even elemental infant stage cultivator is unable to pass through it. Then, what is the place on the other side of the desert?"
Zhou Fei did not reply. With a low growl, the bottle gourd floating in front of him started to spin quickly, and as it spun faster and faster, the bottle gourd started to shake violently, producing a buzzing sound. At the same time, the same thing happened to the bottle gourd in front of Li Yue. The gourd spun for a moment before finally stopping. Both of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhou Fei wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and continued with the conversation: "Even though the temperature in the desert is high, to Expert of Elemental Infant Stage, it doesn't affect them at all. However …" Saying that, he changed the topic, glanced at the sky above the Red Stone Desert, and continued: "There is a hot air current above the desert, that air current appeared unscheduled, and the temperature contained within it was shockingly strong. If elemental infant stage cultivator were to touch that air current, it would be a narrow escape." He looked at his surroundings, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Let me tell you, Valley Lord had once encountered that air current, and almost died."0
Li Yue cried out in alarm, "Ah! That flow of air is so strong, why does the Valley Lord still want to go? "
Zhou Fei took a deep breath and said slowly: "Although the air currents are strong, there is something that the Taoism dreams of — — metal."
After Li Yue heard it, he could not help but ask: "It's precisely a metal that is comparable to a black iron?"
Zhou Fei nodded his head: "If not for that thing, who would have risked their life to go into the airflow, but the number of cultivators that found it were so many, and yet so few are able to survive the airflow."
Li Yue looked into the depths of the Red Stone Desert and his eyes were filled with fear. He immediately said, "Senior Brother, you still haven't told me what is at the end of the desert."
Zhou Fei shook his head and said: "I don't know what the end of it is, but according to Eldest Brother, that place is an endless ocean."
"The sea?" Li Yue was startled, and interrupted, "Will the seawater not be vaporized by the high temperature contained within the red sand?"
Zhou Fei was depressed. He glared at Li Yue and said, "Can you listen to me before expressing your opinion?" He paused for a moment before continuing, "The sea there is not ordinary seawater, but magma."
"What …" Li Yue opened his eyes wide, and took a deep breath, "Magma, why is there magma? I heard from my fellow brothers that in the past few thousand years, the temperature on the continent wasn't this high and the sun wasn't hot. When did the continent become like this? "
Zhou Fei sighed, and said: "I am not sure why the continent has turned out to be like this either. If I really want to know, after my cultivation level increases, maybe I will have the chance to go to the Golden Crow Pavilion to search through the ancient records, and there are records of events that occurred a thousand years ago." As he spoke to here, his pupils suddenly dilated, his eyes became round, his mouth opened wide enough to put down an egg. His eyes became lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.
Li Yue frowned, he raised his hand and waved it in front of Han Zhou Fei a few times, seeing that he did not react, he immediately shouted: "Senior Brother, what's wrong, what's wrong?" When his palm landed on Zhou Fei's chest, Zhou Fei staggered and almost fell to the ground. Zhou Fei stood up, but did not reprimand Li Yue. Instead, he looked behind him, his eyes were filled with shock, as if he had seen a demon.
Li Yue was suspicious in his heart as he hurriedly turned around. When he saw the scene behind him, his legs went soft and he almost fell to the ground.
Behind the two of them stood a white clothed Young man. The man's appearance was slightly younger than them, but the man did not have any aura, if not for the fact that his body was emanating life force, the two of them would have definitely treated him like a ghost. When they thought about the other party appearing at their side without a sound, the two's hearts tightened. After realizing something, they immediately cupped their hands together and said, "Senior …"
The person who suddenly appeared was Han Yan. Han Yan's eyes flashed, and said coldly: "Where is this place?"
The two of them were startled, as they didn't know why Han Yan asked them such a question. When they saw Han Yan's clothes clearly, they realized something was amiss. They came to a realization, that the person in front of them was not a cultivator from the mainland. The two of them saw that Han Yan's gaze gradually became ice-cold, and there was even a hint of impatience. Zhou Fei hurriedly said, "Senior, this is Golden Crow Continent …"
